Notes
'Shiralee' rose (Rosa 'Shiralee') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The fragrant yellow blend blooms open in late spring, again in summer, and once more in early autumn. Bees visit the flowers. Patrick Dickson bred it in 1965.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Red Charm peony, and Greig's tulip.
